Montenegro

    Pray for  Montenegro
    (Listed June 14, 2010)

    1)        Let us pray for the children of Montenegro. As
    Montenegro modernizes, there are many pitfalls for children.
    a.        Let us pray that the families would be strong and be
    a safe place for the children. Pray that parents would
    understand the new things children need to learn to survive
    in a modern world but not abandon their parental
    responsibilities.
    b.        There are outside forces that want to affect the
    children in the schools; one of them being UNICEF and their
    push for children’s rights. Pray that the children would not
    be taught to disrespect their parents but regard parental
    wisdom and guidance as essential to life. See NOTE #1
    c.        In the name of Jesus we come against the neglect of
    children in Montenegro. Lord, strike down those forces
    coming against the families; economic, alcohol and drug
    abuse, divorce, etc.
    d.        Lord, we ask for open doors to the schools for
    Christian organizations. May the evangelical churches have
    an extended burden for the children in their local areas.
    e.        Help the churches to develop programs to attract the
    Children.
    f.        Let us pray for the Summer Youth camps planned by
    the churches this summer. Lord, give the pastors and
    teachers planning wisdom.
    g.        May there be adequate finances for the camps. Help
    them to stretch their resources to bring maximum benefit to
    all the children involved.
    h.         Let us pray that there would be no fears by the
    parents in letting their children attend these camps. Lord,
    even reach the lost families through the children.
    i.        There is a need for the building of a permanent youth
    camp site. There are plans being drawn up for this; Let us
    pray for the finances, perfect site to build on, personnel and
    project management.

    Bijelo Polje (is a town in northern Montenegro. It has a
    population of 15,883 (2003 census). Bijelo Polje is the
    center of the municipality of the same name (population of
    50,284), which is part of geographical region of Sandžak. It
    is unofficial center of north-eastern region of Montenegro.
    Bijelo Polje means literally "White Field" in Serbian.

    2)        There is a church in Dallas, Texas (MacArthur
    Baptist) that is trying to plant a church in Bijelo Polje,
    Montenegro. This area of Sandzak is hard ground and there
    is already tension with the Muslims. Lord, we believe You
    can plow up this hard ground so the seeds of the Gospel
    can be planted.
    3)        Lord, we ask You to do an amazing work in Bijelo
    Polje and the Sandzak area. Raise up a church of
    Christians that will impact the area.
    4)        Lord we lift up the eastern side of Montenegro.
    There are also accusations between Montenegro and
    Kosovo over border lines. (See NOTE #2) Lord let there be
    peace in the Balkans and no more wars.
    5)        There was a request to pray for the Brethren
    Assembly in Montenegro. It seems that divisive forces and
    legalism are attacking the unity of the church. Lord, we pray
    that the head of the enemy that is trying to causing disunity
    be cut off. May the saints see Your forgiveness, Lord, and
    may they choose to forgive one another.
    6)        Lord, we ask You to touch the Brethren pastor in a
    special way. Give him hope and show him Your grace.  Let
    the Holy Spirit flow through him and disarm his enemies.
